It happens! We can certainly testify to the fact that these things happen during live broadcasts... NBC 12 morning anchor Eric Philips had a slip of the tongue on Wednesday morning when asking viewers to "check their pantries" for a recall.
The story was about rice and slow cookers that had a technical fault and were being recalled, with poor Eric mistaking "panties" for "pantries". Brilliant.
